A reversible light and genotype dependent acquired thermolerance response protects the potato plant from excessive temperature (microarray data set 2).

ABSTRACT: 'Potato is particularly vulnerable to increased temperature, considered to be the most important uncontrollable factor affecting growth and yield. Here we describe an acquired thermotolerance response in potato, whereby treatment at a mildly elevated temperature (''acclimated'') primes the plant for more severe heat stress compared to control (''non-acclimated'') plants. We define the time course for acquiring thermotolerance and demonstrate that light is essential for the process. Physiological, transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches were employed to elucidate potential mechanisms that underpin the acquisition of heat tolerance and indicate a role for cell wall modification, auxin and ethylene signalling, and chromatin remodelling in acclimatory priming. This experiment identifies changes in transcript level were measured over a time course (0, 2, 6, 12 h) during the period of acquisition of thermotolerance following transfer from 18 °C (non-acclimated) to 25 °C (acclimated). Related experiment (E-MTAB-5857) looks to understand the mechanisms by which acclimation results in protection of leaves at extreme temperature; gene expression patterns were determined in leaves from acclimated and non-acclimated plants which were subsequently transferred to 40 °C and compared during a 48 h time course (2, 6, 12, 24 h).'
